Inviu of Coiumbas, one of the Indiana Centennial commissioners, says regarding the prqj- et: “The State of Indiana, being the center of population of the United States and centrally located as to Wealth and business, deserves to stand high among her sister states. Her stone quarries are the very best, the product being used iu all parte of the country. Her coal fields art- so extensive that they are almost exhaust levs. Her timber is the best hardwood; her soil is as good as can be found anywhere. The proposition to show to tile world all the good tilings belonging to Indiaita, together with the advano ment marie in the past century, is laudable and deserves the hearty cooperation of our people. To do, this will require a large outlay of energy and money. Th-re is plenty of time between now and the assembling of the next legislature for the people to discuss the subject and divide whether they are in favor or opposed to the proposition." j If the decision is favorable, there should be no half w ay support.” INDIANA'S MF.AC.KK ADVF.RTIStNO.' 1 Hon. E. B. Martiudale, one of the members at large of the Indiana centennial commission,“iu an interview regarding the project, says: s“>Ve should eeleorate in an appropriate manner the ‘centeuni&l of Indiana.’' The state has up to this time sprut very little money in advertisingdo the worla , her century’s development. No state in the union, ‘And in fact no country in the world, has accomplished more in a hundred years, bow, iu line with the enterprise bet people have displayed, the state should main known to the world what has been accomplished.

“In tit# line ot discovery ana mrention iuup*> has been accomplished in the’ past, hundred years than was accomplwhed in the’ preceding 500 years. These great diseoveriei and isepbant "have been stimulated by our modern exp *1 turns. Fulton was regarded as a crank aiul impoverished himself befure he convinced capital that steam could be, used in* navigation. The-con-gressmen who voted aid to Morse m the construction of a telegraph line from 'Waahingtan to Baltimore were ridicule*l by ttieir constituents and defeated for re-election. The advocates of the ex penditure of a half million dollars by the state in making known to the world what the name 'Indiana’ stands for will as certainly receive in turn the »niv« rsal indorsement of the popie as did i Fulton and Morse. I “The same genius that has produced | great invent ins wul produce gr* at iiut uona^au* m the methods of expoai- \ tions. Th<* most disheartening feature, ao^st-th* holding of such a Ui >iern« x--nosTtion is the great wa»t« of m .tier in the pon&iru -non of bondings and K'paratiou of exhibits which are vainest after the exposition closes.,- 1 maintain that we cau so construct and maintain an exposition that this great waste ot money will be avoided.- uud that the expenditure will be in the nature of a profitable investment to the stale. The gate receipts of an exposition depend very largely on its location—the nearer the center of the state, and the center of the greatest central city of the state it can be placed, the*greater trill be the attendance and gate receipts. , “Tne stute of Indiana is fortunately the owner of a large plat of ground in the verv center of the city, at the very point best adapted to the location of a •centennial building.’ The main building should be-so construpb-d that it would be ornamental awl a model of \i 1 at the'same exhibit in the architecture in itself, anf time contain a pena&n* n^ departments of science, literature, education. fine arts, d.Vorative arts, electricity, geology, fineries, etc. ^ The buildings for the display of inanufaetunug machinery, implements, agriculture. horticulture* floriculture, etc., would lie temporary and inexpensive, and be removed at the Cnd of the exposition. The permanent building and the exhibit** therein would be permanent, and a sufficient charge made for. admission after the main exposition closes, to meet the expenses of maintenance. This will be an economical and creditable enterprise for the state, in which no money will be wasted, and should commend itself to the people of the state and to the next geueral assembly, which will be asked to inaugurate it. THE BENEFITS TO THE STATE “What will the state accomplish by it? 414 She drill hay* taken 6ten in ad

tion should be one or Indiana s progress, 'improvement and achievements solely and distinctively. As a matter of detail I would suggest that, besides the .exhibits of a general nature, the exposition be divided into 10 departments, each of which shopki represent a decade of the conditionsTtncl achievements of Indiana as a territory and state. ” Commissioner James A. Arthur of Gbshen, says: “That we should fittingly celebrate the event goes without saying, and we should dc it in a manner tnat will Incommensurate with the magnitude and importance of the state. I am decidedly in favor of making it a permanent exposition, where will he .gathered together samples-of art, literature. science, minerals and manufactured products of the state, also a geographical and geological display .coupled with a Qomph te showing of the w*.>r*t/ mgs of our execll. nt.school system, an t thus show to oar sistes^tutrs and to the world at large the wonderful resources of Indiana.” (hpap Metropolitan Papers. .

RECIPROCITY FACTS EFFECT OF THE TREATIES WITh SOUTHERN COUNTRIES. Trade Declined With South and Central America While It Increased With Europe—l’uder the Wilson Law It Bai Increased—Record of a Failure. The Republican congressional convention of the Eighteenth Illinois district, says the St. Louis Republic, took occasion to denouncCthe^Deinocratic party for the hnnulment of the Harrison-Blaine-M<fcnley reci procity treaty.' The rensoh for the annulment was a good one. The effect of the treaties on our trade with the countries south of ns was the reverse of whai had been predicted by Harrison, McKinley & Co. They had been in force about three years without increasing oar exports, as a whole, to the favored countries. This trade had, in fact, declined, and in years of exceptionally large ei|)orts to Europe. These treaties had been in force two years when the panic came, and our trade with Europe was not much affected by it until lb94. They had a fair trial, and what was the result? Four of tb% ten reciprocity treaties were with Central American countries —Guatemala, Honduras. Salvador and Nicaragua. Our exports to Guatemala fell from #1,971,000 in the last year be

fore our treaty wtth that country took. effect to $1,809,000 in the fiscal year Ending June 80, 1892. Further decreases followed in the nest two years, but in the one ending with last June we gained #1,400,000. The increase came during the last half of the year, after the Wilson bill had taken effect. Our exports brought us over $800,000 more from Guatemala in the last fiscal* year than in the corresponding period of 1891- 2, the year cf our greatest export trade with Central America under the McKinley treaty. Whatever may have been the cause, the fact remains that our trade with the leading country of Central America commenced declining in ls91 and^outinued to fall until the WXT&rilnw had taken effect. / Our estorts to Honduras declined for fwo years under reciprocity nursing, Jfiid then recovered a portion of the lost ground. .At no time during the enforcement cf the McKinley tariff law was our trade with Honduras as lar$e as before or after that period. It brought us in the fisc al year of 1894-5 about $646,000, as compared with $443,000 in the year immediately preceding the panie iud $619,0041 in 1888-9—our year of greatest trade with that country prior to the passage of the Wilson bill. Similar changes occurred in our eyport trade with Nicaragua. From $1,593,000 in 1890-1 it decreased for two years, amounting to only $812,000 in the year 1892- 3. Then came an increase, and last year brought the trade back to uearly its old dimensions. We have had practically the same experience with Salvador. All of these Central American countries bought less from us during the continuance of our reciprocity treaties wljph them than they did before :>r have since. Our South American treaties were with British Guiana and Brazil. We haven’t much trade with the colony gamed, but sell more to Brazil than to any other country of Latin America except Mexico. In l''90-l\.ur exports to Brazil footed Up $14,049,000. In the first year of reciprocity they increased about $190,000, and in the second decreased nearly $2,000,000. The lost ground was only partly recovered in 1803-4- At no time after the early part of 1891 was our export* trade with' Brazil asVlarge as it was just before that period. Reciprocity (>f the kind favored by Earrirfm, McKinley & Co. was a failure here as it was in Central America. Last fiscal -year’s exports amounted to $15,165,000, nearly $1,000,000 more-than in the best y ar of McKiuleyism. Cuba, Porto Rico, Santo Domingo and the British West Indies complete the list cf countries and colonics south of us to which the reciprocity treaty portion of Mr. McKinley’s tariff law was extended. The effect on our trade wjth all but the Spanish possesions was substantially the same as on our South and Central American exports. If McKinleyism benefited our foreign trade at all,, the bene

fit was confined to the Porto Rieo-Cuban portion of it. Until the present revolution became serious our exports to these two islands increased, but the probability is that they would have done so had Mr. McKinley never been born. Under normal political conditions in Cuba our trade with that island should grow right along, and it will if not hindered by tar:1T restrictions. Reciprocity as applied under the McKinley law was a complete failure. *lnstead of increasing our ci untryis trade iu the we teru hemisphere, it h^d (he opposite effect. Chie »>f its provisions-— the retaliatory clause—almost killed our tirade vrithVeneauela, Colombia .and Haiti. ‘ - _; Hard Work For Hick Tariff Editor*. The tariff editors of Republican newspapers are much to be pitied. They have to contend with their Partington protectionist's brooms against the waves of industrial growth and prosperity which appear in the news printed day by day beside their platitudes. It Is hard indeed to be obliged .to try to show why the thing that is is not.—Exchange. Their Oual Aim. “Aim low!" shrieks the Springfield News in urging the Illinois Republicans to campaign duty.

TARifF CONTORTIONISTS. The Free Wool Question Gives Them Many • Twist—American Wool In London. The statistical jugglers are driven to some strauge contortions of logic in keeping up tbeir wai 1 about wool. They have been viewing with alarm the importations of foreign wool, which they regarded as destructive to the domestic producers. And now they are compelled to view with; alarm the exportation of domestic wo&l and tot prove that also disastrous. To make their task still more difficult, it has been necessary for them to maintain that while all these importations of wool were going on our woolen manufactures were “prostrated” by tho Wilson tariff. What the prostrated manufacturers were doing with the wool they imported has not been explained. If they could not afford to \v*Ak it into fabrics, they were very fooli&nto burden themselves with it, especially if domestic wool would; serve them as well and could be had so much cheaper. And now there is another leap in logic. We are told, as a fresh instance of the ill effects of free wool, that American wool, grown in Montana, can be sold at a fretter price in London than in America, and that our manufacturers are sufferers in consequence, though it was urged, when free wool was proposed, that it would bent t the manufaeturersAt the expense of tjie wbol growers.

If these jugglersLWOtrid-tinly takeA! square view of the facjs, they would not have to make so many contradictory and preposterous twists. The truth is that American manufacmrers got ahead of their English rivals and secured last spring large blocks of foreign Wools before the Englishmen were aware of it. And. now the latter have difficulty in getting the raw material they require and are paying higher prices. ’ This explains - the large importations of wool in the spring and summer of this year, with the increased sales of domestic wool at the present time, in- * eluding considerable amounts for exportation. Relieved of tariff restrictions, our manufacturers > are enabled to buy their material at the most favorable rates, and our wool growers in turn arc enabled to sell in the best marketi There is no mystery about it. While tho change necessarily made some disturbance at first it is evident that in the tong run both purties must be benefited and that tho arguments for the MeKin: ley duties based on the course of. the wool market are utterly fallacious and absurd.—Philadelphia Times. HARRISON’S^ LEGACY. Xtozuocrats How Hod to Hear the Blame of Uls Costly Administration. It is useless for The Commercial Gaeette to print, a lot of perfunctory figures to dispute the preposition that President Harrison and Secretary Foster turned over to President Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle a collapsed treasury. The facts, th’at can be stated in a few words without an enormous array of arithmetic, are the plainest and most convincing. President Harrison, when he was inaugurated, found an ample gold reserve. It ran up to nearly $200,000,000 during Mr. Cleveland’s first administration. iWben jdessrs. Harrison and Foster retired, the gold reserve- was so near the “hundred million” mark that Secretary Foster had bonds prepared to issue, and had been in consultation with the geld speculators. The difficulty was bridged over and the embarrassments handed over to the new administration. The McKinley law had placed duties so high that they Were prohibitory, and it wa§ a failurfe as a revenue raiser. The Democratic administration found difficulty immediately to make both ends meet. Mr. Harrison had left it a depleted treasury. These are the facts. Complicated bookkeeping exhibits Will Dot change it. The treasury has been “hustling” ever since, but now‘that the new tariff law was got to working fairly, and times are improving, the revenue will no, doubt soon be abundant.—Cincinnati Enquirer.

The Iniquitous Wilson Tariff. Another prcx>f of the iniquity of the Wilson tariff: An English syndicate lately purchased the great woolen mills at Oswego Falls, and now we hear of negotiations for a similar purchase at Broadl rock, Conn., with the avowed purpose of enlarging the plant for the manufacture of tine worsteds and woolens. Evidently the new tariff has so “ruined” woolen Manufacturers in this country that there is nothing left to be done but sell out to British capitalists, who presumably expect to carry on the business at a less fir some hidden pur=^ pose of their own. It is otherwise unaccountable that a tariff that is said to have so greatly benefited Bradford "at American expense should nevertheless bring Bradford people over here.-^Phil-adelphia Time**. Woolen Manufacturer* Not Wanted. Shepherd Lawrence of Ohio has called the wc»'l growers, wa 1 dealers ’and sheep breeders to meet in Washington Dec. 4 to urge congress to incorporate wool tariff provisions in any revenue bill that may be passed. It js significant that the wool manufacturers are not inBefbrm In Philadelphia. In order to carry on their campaign against the use of money in politics and the assessment of c ficials for campaigniug purport’s the v rtudus managers cf the Republican ma hineare making a 1 per cent draft on the salaries of persons in -the service of th* city. This is reform with a vengeance.—Philadelphia Retard. ___ Confine Thcm* Ito* to TMnkiaf. The Republican -are trying hard to, make the people t link that they think just as the Dcmoci .its do in regard to the rights and duties; of corporations. But if this is so, their views are strictly confined t$.thinking. They did not express them in the r platform, r—Boston • IHobe, in tho mvitation.—^iew York^
